What is Life?

[Finder]

Preservation of what?
What kinds of memory exist?
Can function exist without memory?

Preservation of life.
There are lots of kinds of memory.
That depends on what you define memory as.

 

[Ursus Chainus]

Memory is storage of information over time. Any storage, any information.

Fish need bicycles to truly live life, just like l need coffee and donuts to truly live life. l truly don't care if l didn't reproduce. So am l not living if l don't reproduce? l am coming back as a rock in my next lifetime. I am practicing nothingism. It's my new rock philosophy. I intend to start a cult of rocks. lol

Memory is storage of information over time. Any storage, any information.

If you don't mind me asking, what's your definition of information?

Well... in this case, I am more interested in discussing life in a non-religious sense since all religions may view it differently. This is purely scientific. Just a simple definition

I'll just say that The Police were on the right track...

Going to get technical. So let's say you want to make something living from an idea. Ideas exist and from them we make plans. But, it's still non existent not reality. Until it is created. You need material to work with. But, before that you need knowledge. A complete working blueprint encompassing every possible detail. Next you need to incorporate your knowledge into your materials. Shape them into the forms you envision. Complete with their on adaptive control matrix. Along with an adaptive program. This enhances it's survivability. Next you must create a habitation for your lifeform. Furnish it with what is needed to noriush it and protect it against danger.

This made me think of Frankenstein. But l understand if l missed your point.
